Little is notable about Duststorm, except for his ability to form a limb of the powerful Constructicon Maximus and perhaps other combiners, and the hard-to-pronounce "stst" phoneme in his English name. He was one of the few to survive the great battle between the combiners, late in the Energon wars,outliving his own team leader Steamhammer through what was either ghoulish treachery or ingenious improvisation on Storm Jet's part. It all depends on your point of view.

Duststorm, identical in mold to his teammate Wideload, transforms into a truck-mounted mobile crane.

He comes with a giant claw for clawing things, which can be wielded in hand or affixed to his boom, and a blue "super energon" Decepticon-style energon star. The mold was also used for ClassicsLong Haul and Hightower.
